To examine the efficacy and safety of posterior tension-free vaginal mesh (TVM-P) surgery using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (ORIHIME) for advanced prolapse. A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving patients who underwent TVM-P with PTFE pelvic organ prolapse quantification stage III or IV between December 2018 March 2023. All were followed a minimum 1 year postoperatively. The primary outcome recurrence rate in operated compartment. Secondary outcomes comprised other...

In human life, discrimination of a target voice from other voices or sounds is indispensable, and inability for such results in sensory aphasia. To investigate the neuronal basis attentional system voices, we evaluated brain activity during listening comprehension tasks using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at 3T. Diotic tasks, which narration was superimposed by another given same speaker (SV experiment) different (DV experiment), were presented to normal volunteers. The story...

Transvaginal mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse has been widely performed in Japan, but polypropylene not used Japan since the ban on TVM using United States. Currently, polytetrafluoroethylene ORIHIME® is only available Japan. Although a safe material, its low coefficient of friction and insufficient adhesion to surrounding tissue make it difficult maintain position when transvaginal surgery. The aim this study was evaluate feasibility TVM-A2 ORIHIME®.

Polypropylene (PP) has been widely used as a mesh for the surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). However, PPs have shown to cause complications, including tissue invasion, chronic pain, and infection; therefore, regulatory agencies deemed PP was not inappropriate use in transvaginal floor reconstruction surgery, which led recall products. In Japan, (TVM) surgery is still being performed using ORIHIME®, Japanese made polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), available since 2017. this...

Using fMRI at a static magnetic field strength of 1.5 T, we investigated how comprehension and humor sentences would correlate to activation the language areas in listening native language. Sentences with high score augmented left inferior parietal lobule posterior part superior temporal gyrus, which may be related semantic processing. induced Broca's area, associated syntactic processing auditory working memory.

The aim of this study was to verify the safety and efficacy transvaginal mesh by analyzing 2-year follow-up data patients performed a surgeon with high volume procedures.A total 617 pelvic organ prolapse underwent single surgeon. Complications anatomical status each patient were examined up 24 months after surgery. Risk factors for recurrence also analyzed.Regarding complications, we experienced 10 (3.8%) bladder injuries in anterior eight (3.4%) posterior mesh. Massive blood loss observed...

FUNCTIONAL magnetic resonance imaging was successfully used to study the activation of motor cortices during retrieval Japanese ideogram, kanji. The subjects performed kanji completion tasks generate a in response an element which is always written first. In most subjects, contralateral premotor cortex, presupplementary area (pre-SMA) and bilateral intraparietal sulcus were activated without actual writing nor intentional mental writing. Activation associated with shown primary sensorimotor...

Monitoring the visual outcome of our actions is critical to visuo-motor behavior. To investigate neural basis monitoring change produced by self-movement, we examined temporal relationship between manual depression a button and feedback on activation brain. Six neurologically normal subjects participated in 3 experiments (synchronous, delayed, [control]). Magnetic resonance (MR) images their brains were acquired during using scanner operating at 3T. In synchronous experiment, pressed...
